2K's The Art Of The Game Documentary Now On YouTube
Less than a week after 2K announced a documentary entitled The Art of the Game, it's now available on YouTube. It starts by covering a variety of topics, from the general growth of the gaming industry to its cultural acceptance. It then extensively covers an opportunity that 2K offered to students that have aspirations of breaking into the industry.
The students are from the Academy of Art University, and they were tasked with making a short film with Borderlands assets in an effort to secure an internship with Gearbox. You can watch it in its entirety below.
Our Take
This is a pretty cool idea, and must have been a fantastic opportunity for these students. I also see a lot of potential in the ruggedly handsome magazine editor that you can see within the first couple of minutes and throughout the documentary.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
